Hey stranger,
Thanks for stopping by. Chances are, you want to know more about what life at Estrid is like.
Something magical is happening here. It’s impossible to describe in just a few words, but Estrid is a dynamic place filled with energy, passion, and dreams. We don’t know where we will be 20 years from now, but one thing is certain: we would not have gotten this far without the creativity and dedication of a small group of brilliant people that create magic every day.
Estrid journey
Art and science, courage and naivete, failures and aha-moments - these are all vital ingredients to our success. The Estrid journey has been packed with highs and lows, it is like a never-ending growth spurt. In just a short time we have scaled from an ambitious three-person start-up to a team of over 50, launched on 12 markets, built a community of like-minded people, gathered a team of exceptional talent, and raised millions for charities supporting women – and we are just getting started.
Make a real difference
We are proud of the work we have done so far, but there is so much more to do. So much more, and we want it to do it better, bolder and in even more unexpected ways. We are reaching for the stars and beyond, and to get there we need amazing people. People who are passionate, ambitious, smart, and kind. People who aren’t afraid to dream big and challenge the status quo. People from different backgrounds, with different approaches and world views. People that want to make a real difference.
We are humbled that you took the time to check us out. If what you just read makes you feel excited, reach out! We can’t wait to hear from you. If it’s a match, we will shake up entire industries and embark on a mission to create kind and revolutionary brands of the future — together.
We look forward to hearing from you!
The getting-hired-journey
We’re not big on traditional roles, we believe that talent thrives in unexpected situations.
Apply
Grab your resume and CV and tell us why you think that we would be a great match.
To try to keep the whole process as unbiased as possible we will ask a few candidates, that match the requirements for the role, to complete an assessment test.
Interviews
Our people team reviews each application narrowing down the search to a handful of key candidates based on the application material submitted. A lot of thought and time goes into considering who will be asked for an interview.
Our interviews happen in stages, depending on the role and how senior the position is. The process can include anywhere between 1-4 interviews. The first meeting is typically casual, it’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other and ask any burning questions.
Once we have conducted all first-round interviews a representative from the People team will contact a few candidates to move on to the next phase.These interviews may involve our CEO, COO, Heads of Departments, or a mix of everyone! In certain instances, we ask final stage candidates to prepare a time-boxed case. This only happens when we think we could really be a great match and need a little more info into how you would approach the position.
Decision Time
Waiting to hear about a job can be stressful. We get it. This is why we do our utmost to ensure that the process is as frictionless as possible and provide candidates with an answer as soon as possible and keep candidates updated on the process.
If we feel that your skillset, energy, and drive are exactly what we are looking for we will ask for your references and if everything is clear we will make an offer. All other applicants will be contacted by a member of the People team thanking them for their time and informing that we are going in another direction.
Internships
All internship opportunities are published under open positions, if you can’t find one that suits you feel free to send your application to “tell us why we need you”! (We’ve had 7 interns, 2 of them now a full-time job at Estrid) And good to mention, all of our internships are paid!

How does Estrid work with diversity and inclusion?
At Estrid we believe in diversity and inclusion. One of our brand values is to be ”in it together” and we truly believe that when we support each other, amazing things happen. We're aiming for a team that is as diverse and unique as our community, and a team where people building the Estrid story brings their own unique identities, cultures, and experiences to work each and every day, and truly feel included. We acknowledge that we're not yet where we want to be, and that building a truly diverse team requires thoughtfulness and resources to achieve the progress we want.
All Estrid BIPOC employees have the option to join an anonymous Slack group providing feedback and perspective on internal and external work across all departments.
We are working with external recruitment agencies to ensure we reach more BIPOC candidates for positions across all levels of experience from entry to managerial.
In 2020 Estrid donated 100K equally to three organisations supporting Black Lives Matter. The chosen organisations were Grassroots Law Project, Color of Change and NAACP Legal Defence & Education Fund.
We work in close collaboration with an academic whose specialty lies at the intersection of inclusive communication and design. This extra step helps us ensure that we consider different perspectives and create inclusive brand communication.
In 2021 we launched the first Estrid Grant, an initiative that supports individuals who are creating opportunities for under-represented, marginalized women and non-binary individuals in Sweden through initiatives, big and small, that contribute to closing the gap and setting a better precedent for future generations.
Tell me more
A gut feeling is usually a good thing, but not when it comes to expanding our team. When we hire we focus on potential and competence, that’s why some parts of our process are done anonymously, with the support of assessment partners. Our tests, take about 15 min each. There is one logic test and one personality test both set up by an external partner.
If we think your profile matches our requirements we’ll send you a link to the tests as a first step in the process.
Ps. Only the recruiter, will see your results.
Waiting sucks, but some things just can’t be rushed. We try to get back to all candidates within a few weeks. Sometimes the sheer amount of applications or some unforeseen change in our growing company makes us lag behind and the waiting time will be a lil’ bit longer. But, we will always get back to you 💜
We’ll meet over video (or a phone call) and we will mostly talk about your experiences, skills, and how you and Estrid could be a match made in heaven ☁️
Remember that you can ask as many questions as you want!
Getting the right person, at the right time, for the right position is not an easy thing to do. Finding people that can master the Estrid way is tricky. To make sure we understand your full potential we use case as a part of the final step of our recruitment process. It’s basically there to make it easier for us to understand your skills and for you to be able to fill in any potential gaps in your portfolio or experiences. Nothing too fancy or complicated, and nothing that takes hours and hours to complete. Just something that gives us an idea of you as our next colleague.
This request will only be sent to the final applicants. The case is only viewed for recruiting purpose and never shared internally.
Maybe things didn’t work out this time. A no doesn’t mean that we didn’t like your personality, that your case wasn’t good enough, or that something went south during your interview. It just means that right now it wasn’t a perfect match. Maybe the timing was off or we needed a very specific skill set. You’ll do other great things instead!
All our internships are paid. All internship opportunities are published under open positions, if you can’t find one that suits you feel free to send your application to “tell us why we need you”!
During 2020 we hired people for 25 full-time and 10 part-time positions (from being 8 full-time employees by the end of 2019), which means that we’re growing quickly! But our growth speed also means that sometimes the needs for a specific role change mid recruitment process. Sometimes a role is open for application for a long period of time, and as long as it’s open you are free to apply.
